Internal DOJ memo directing federal prosecutors to investigate and prosecute their state and local partners who fail to support Trump’s immigration plans.
January 23, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Trump is threatening to prosecute those who don’t go along with his plans—legal or not, consistent with state policy or not, part of their job or not. The message is, bend your will to the leader or else. That’s autocracy.

…employees in the form of raises & bonuses, as advertised by Trump.

How is he paying for this? By taking away Medicare/Medicaid initiatives (lower prescription prices, $2 for generic drugs, canceled)

When is he announcing low & middle class tax breaks?
January 23, 2025 at 4:51 PM
Trump just announced at the World Economic Forum that he plans to reduce corporate business taxes from 21% to 15%. What the f*#+k?
More of the failed “trickle-down economics”, ie,

Trump is deporting the guy who mows your lawn but releasing the guy who bashed a police officer’s head in back to your community.

Trump reversed another Biden order that implemented in Medicare a flat $2 copay for all generic medications - how do all my fellow Seniors from FL, who voted for Trump, feel about this?

Farm workers are so afraid of being deported they’re not showing up to work,
meaning there is no one to pick the crops,
which creates a shortage of produce in the market,

… Meanwhile, Trump pursues aggressive deportation measures against millions of undocumented immigrants, migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers who are integral to our community, providing vital services such as caregiving, agriculture, housekeeping, and delivery services while paying taxes.

Trump “terminated” Adm. Linda Fagan as commandant, the first woman to lead a branch of the U.S. military, citing a perceived overemphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, potentially at the expense of homeland defense.
REALLY?!?!?
